you’re looking queer enough for shooting
don’t try to cheer me up
it’s so insulting

after all
I should have known
all along
I should have known

I met my match this time, mistaken
stop by to watch when it’s time
to drive the stake in

after all
I should have known
all along
I should have known

after all the advice and consequence
my skin turns to ice in self-defense

by now you know it’s all in the gutter
all in a row the days lose
their number

after all
I should have known
all along
I should have known
I should have known
